York City F.C. league record by opponent

York City Football Club is a professional association football club based in York, North Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1922, the club was elected to play in the Midland League, and competed in this league for seven seasons before being elected to play in the Football League in 1929 as members of the Third Division North.[1] York were promoted to the Second Division for the 1974–75 season, which saw the team achieve their highest league placing after finishing in 15th place.[2] York became the first team to reach 100 points in a Football League season after winning the 1983–84 Fourth Division championship with 101 points, the club's only league title.[3] York were relegated to the Football Conference in 2004 after they finished at the bottom of the Third Division, ending 75 years of League membership.[4] York returned to the Football League after eight years with victory in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off final,[5] but were relegated to the National League four years later.[6]
